I'm a bit in love with this colour at the moment.
Have just purchased one of these. EXCITED.

Sven tries out discs! And to help celebrate this momentous event here is the bike. The Prestige is a lovely frame whatever way you slice it, but it does look particularly fetching with the WC stripes
What did he think of the brakes?
''The difference [in weight] is about two bottles of water, and it's not all in the brakes," Nys said. "It's an adapted frame which is strengthened. It's too much. Too much to run up a climb with that bike on your back."
Not sold it seems.

No I like Colnagos. Always have always will. There's a lad in our league races two identical Prestiges, gives me major bike envy.
I think he said 1kg difference, so two 500 ml bottles. Who am I to question Sven?
How's the steelie? On the mend?
Indeed, he mentioned about 1kg of difference due to disc brakes because of the changes (inforcements?) needed in the frame.
Albert is saying with him it's only a difference of 300 - 500g.
So now the (conspiracy) theory is going around that Colnago wants to mess a bit with Nys (or not bother really anymore) because he's changing bike supplier in Jan '14.
More on topic... personally I relly like the colours/paint job on that Colnago bike
Schlepping...?
Are the winter kilos getting hold of you?
Or is it the kilos of settling down (having a baby)?

This.
Fakenham is in deepest darkest Norfolk, and the most distant of our venues. I'm looking at a round trip of circa 4 hours.
Having said that, there are winter and baby kilos - most definitely
Well about one kilo so far. A bit like Sven! We have something in common

Saw the new 2014 Focus Mares 1.0 in the local dealer yesterday:
In a showroom full of high end Pinarello's this was actually getting MORE attention.....me likey a lot. What shocked me the most was the weight, it's so light.

It's just like the old one on page 1! But ruined by disc brakes
